Brain Teaser: What would you rather have? 100 qualified leads OR 10 new trials?
What about 1,000 qualified leads vs. 100 trials? I'mma let you marinate on that for a second because I want this to sink in. Is your brain all twisted up in knots yet? Haha. OK... Now that you've put some thought into it...I'll give you my 2 cents: I would pick 100 leads over 10 trials any day of the week. For a few reasons: I know I can convert about 20%-30% out of 100 trials. And that's kind of average, with 6th grade writing skills and an OK SaaS. The longer you have the list and the more you email them, you'll start to see 40%-50%. 100 qualified leads means 100 people with the pain I solve that I can build a relationship with over time that could turn into MORE than just trials. You'd be surprised how many potential partners, affiliates or straight up potential buyers are in your database that are just waiting to be given a reason to contact you. They don't because they started a trial and got busy...saw an ad for Dad Grass (which I just bought haha)...spend 2 minutes in your app and couldn't figure it out... So they have NO idea you would be a great partner for them. When someone goes through a trial and doesn't convert, seeds of doubt IMMEDIATELY start to sprout. Thoughts like: "I guess this isn't going to work for me" or "That's not really what I wanted" or "I really wanted this feature but they don't have it." EVEN IF those things are not true. How many times have you heard from a customer: "Hot diggity dog, I didn't know you had THAT feature!" And you thought: "What do you mean you didn't know it literally says that in the settings menu under Profile > Email > Email Settings > Advanced Email Settings > Top Secret Email Settings > More > Enable Post Beta Features !!! Most people can't make a decision of what CRM to use in a couple of minutes. And most prospects and buyers don't have the time, energy or mental resources to try out 100 different CRMS to see which is the best for them... So they KEEP doing what they're already doing because it's MORE painful to move to an app that might not be a fit than it is to stick with what they already know.

I've just posted ShortlistIQ on Product Hunt!
After a long debate if we should get a popular hunter to post us or if we should do it ourselves, we've went with the second option. As PH audience is not really our target market, we thought we should just try to tell a compelling story in our own words and see how the community accepts the idea and hopefully gather some feedback. Link: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/shortlistiq Any kind of support on PH is appreciated 🤗 P.S. ShortlistIQ is a candidate screening tool that uses GPT4o to conduct first-round interviews with all candidates who applied for a job, asking strategic questions to uncover their actual skills and find hidden gems.

What tools is your platform built on?
I'm always curious about different tools - basically I love to try new things. Each I find have their pros and cons - Bubble's being that it is highly customizable but not the easiest of tools to learn. Also, I only know enough real code to be dangerous so that's why I opt for no code tools. For context, I'm working on an AI content hub for consuming content and publishing content. Here's how I ended up building with Bubble for my current project: Starting with Airtable: I began with Airtable, using it alongside Make.com and Creatomate. This setup let me quickly change and adapt my project. It included a content calendar that could automatically post to social media. The main challenges were needing manual JSON edits and complex template setups. Moving to Glide: Next, I used Glide, which builds apps using Airtable data. It made some tasks easier and added new features like AI image generation. However, the design options were limited, and the pricing model was expensive, especially if many users were added. Switching to Bubble: Lastly, I switched to Bubble because it offers more customization and lets you integrate some coding. Bubble improved the layout design, made scheduling easier, and simplified the user onboarding process. It was more complex but better suited for my needs. I think it was important that I went through all of these iterations so that I could start testing ideas early, and increasing complexity as needed. Each platform had its pros and cons, which influenced how I developed my project.

How to turn losing FB ads into winners
If I put together a workshop that showed you how to turn losing FB ads into winners, would you be interested? If you’re not running paid ads, I’ll show you how to come up with an offer that would attract your ideal customer, how to write the ad copy, how to convert a trial to a signup and how to find a winning ad and scale it. Then I’d provide you with 1-1 help every week to help you dial it all in. Once you have a campaign that’s driving new trial signups every day, I’d show you how to clone the campaign to other paid channels. We’d start off at $5 a day, then scale it once we know we can put in $1 and get $2 back. And I’d make it super affordable (not much more than what you’re paying for your CRM) so pretty much anyone could do it (even if you’re bootstrapped). Pretty please would you drop your vote below to see if this is something I should put together?
